Collingswood Rotary Kicks Off the Fall Season!
Our weekly meeting was back in full swing this past Wednesday, and it felt great to reconnect as a club heading into fall. There's nothing like a full room to get everyone energized for the season ahead!
This week we were thrilled to welcome two special guests: Meghan Tumolo and Caitlin Jensen from the Collingswood Education Fund (CEF).
About the Collingswood Education Fund:
CEF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports, enriches, and advances student learning in our public school community through fundraising, partnerships, and grantmaking. The organization grew out of a grassroots community effort to better understand and respond to ongoing public school funding challenges here in New Jersey.
CEF brings together community members, families, educators, local businesses, and civic leaders to help turn educator-led ideas into real opportunities for Collingswood students โ all through an entirely volunteer-run Board committed to transparency and community-focused operations.
A few highlights Meghan and Caitlin shared with us:
- The 2026โ2027 CEF Grant Cycle is open now through October 1, 2026, supporting impactful educational opportunities across Collingswood Public Schools.
- CEF officially launched in Spring 2026 with its first event, Sound Investment, which raised nearly $13,000 with 500 attendees.
- CEF is looking for volunteers for its Grants Review Committee, Events Committee, Fundraising Committee, and more.
